He's not.

Must have done. He's not very good at all.

He's just a headless chicken. Brechin fans don't rate him at all.

He's not. He's garbage.

Fully expect the match to be off.

How long before someone recommends Riordan...

Is it just me then who thinks Calder has some ability? Now granted he's not always shown it, but if he can get his attitude sorted, I think he *could* come good.

But the game needed to be cancelled! They'd eaten pot noodles!

One clown about half way up was screaming abuse at him during the first half. It was embarrassing.

But I thought they hadn't slept, been traumatised, played a game of football and had eaten only pot noodles?! They weren't in that bad a shape then.

I see they all went to Newcastle for a night out post match. Can't have all been in that bad a shape then...

I was speaking to someone a while back who told me they'd been speaking to a former member of the board (I think) around the start of last season. He asked said former board member how they planned on taking the club forward. The response was - 'We won the Scottish Cup, everything's fine'. There was no desire whatsoever to try and capitalise on the cup win. Nothing to try and really push the club forward in the community and use the time we were at our highest to truly take the club forward. We've hugely paid the price.

Did anyone else hear that 'fan' screaming abuse at Raven throughout the game yesterday? I was quenching with embarrassment for him.

'Susan' has been a really weird and yes, rubbish signing. He came on against Stirling and looked okay and then missed an open goal from about two yards out. He then played against Falkirk did next nothing to and then scored a flukey goal against Clach but for the rest of the game looked absolutely horrendous - and this is against a middle of the road Highland League side. He looks absolutely garbage since before disappearing with an injury - aside from an a appearance on the bench against Dumbarton. That was about two months ago and he still hasn't returned as he's again apparently 'injured'. Robbo has talked about bringing a new striker in, so with Bell, Baird and Oakley in the side you'd imagine one striker would be leaving before a new one was brought in, which would suggest that Zzzzzzz is the one who'll be leaving. I honestly wonder if we'd been Ali Dia-ed with this guy. * Surely * he's not a professional footballer.

Surprised to see votes for Raven. Didn't think he was very good yesterday.

Even if there were better players around that area, there's three shinty clubs in the area meaning that's 90 guys already unavailable. It was explained to me once that usually the best football players around there are also good shinty players and usually pick the latter sport. There was an article in one of the previous issues of Nutmeg about the club that is worth reading.

My understanding is they're really struggling for players these days. They've lost a lot of players to other clubs (Scott Davidson went to Rothes for example) and have resorted to playing kids and trialists. It's a shame and I hope they survive.

So who were the mystery seven? Boden, Meekings, Fon Williams, Raven, Warren, Vigurs and Draper?

I noticed the sponsors MOTM was Connor Bell. He wouldn't have been my choice.

I was hoping we'd heard the last of him. A man of course, who recently claimed on Sportsound that he'd been to the Partick Thistle match the previous week and his main observation was that Abdul Osman wasn't very good. Osman wasn't playing.

For a man who retired, Chick Young spends an awful lot of time on the airwaves...

In regards to last season's financial strategy, budgeting for seventh is fair enough, but it's how you use it. Bare in mind, the likes of Lewis Horner and Dean Ebbe were probably on buttons, so what on Earth were some of the others on?! I'm sure I recollect hearing that Scott Boden was somewhere in the region of £2,000 a week! If he had whacked in 30 goals a season then that would be one thing, but he was absolutely useless. To give Foran some benefit of the doubt, some of his signings looked good in theory but didn't turn out as expected. Big things were obviously expected from the aforementioned Boden, while Billy King was looked upon as a very good signing that summer but never really hit the heights expected. I imagine a lot of hope was put on Kevin McNaughton (and he may have been a big player for us) before he missed almost the full season through injury. Larnell Cole came with experience of the English Premier League but usually blew cold. Doumbouya was pretty hopeless as well, while Henri Anier had had a couple of purple patches in the past but was absolutely terrible. Other players didn't have the best of seasons. Fon Williams was often injured and on a poor run of form, Raven and Warren weren't at their best, Meekings and Doran got injured, Tansey and Draper weren't fantastic while Billy Mckay returned as the player he was when he first arrived at the club in 2011 and was nowhere near as good as the player he was when he joined Wigan. In saying that though, Foran did have a team that was altogether not actually that bad. We certainly didn't have the worst squad in the league and unquestionably, man for man, had a better squad than Hamilton Academical. On top of that, we probably had a side equal to, or better, than Kilmarnock, Dundee and Motherwell. Despite this though, it was poor management and poor tactics that killed us. Foran was tactically naive, began playing a very primitive desperate long ball game and his petty falling out with Alex Fisher (who was clearly the best striker we had) was the main reason we were relegated.

It'd be nice if the club clarified this. I've noticed a few people ask on Twitter who are travelling from further afield to no reply. The club manages to tweet for the 50th time this week about the shirt discount though...
